in Orlando, Florida. Do you know that Universal Orlando Resort has its own
ecosystem. Well watch this informative travel video now for free tips and
insights to save you time and money while visiting the Universal Orlando
Resort area. Universal Orlando resort's refers to two theme parks. volcano Bay
waterpark, its hotels, and city walk. There are several ways to get to Universal
CityWalk. If you're staying at a universal resort you can take their
shuttle. Universal Resort Hotels offers the superstar shuttle which is a free
scheduled shuttle for hotel guests It also offers free transportation to
SeaWorld, wet and wild, and Aquatica. Check your hotel for more detailed information
You can also take the links bus routes 21, 37, and 400 and exit at the turkey
Lake Road and Wood Green Drive stop and then walk to Universal. You can also take
the I ride trolley. Ihe I ride trolley does not stop directly at Universal
Orlando. The closest stop is the Double Tree Hotel on the corner of Kirkman Road
and Major Blvds. which makes a stop at G4. From there you can walk to Universal parks
about a half a mile to City Walk. If you're driving set your GPS to 6000
Universal Boulevard Once you arrive, pay for parking at the
parking booth. Park your car as directed in the parking structure. After securing
your car, walk to the escalators to the main level and walk to the main
entrance of City Walk. Tip 1: take a picture of your parking Lane and row
number on your phone or write it down so you're not looking for your car at the
end of the night. Tip 2: only coming for dinner or a show to City Walk? Arrive
after 6 p.m. and parking is free! Universal CityWalk is an outdoor mall
and entertainment area located just right outside the gates of Universal
Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure
The city walk has over 25 restaurants and cafes offering everything from Starbucks
Coffee to Panda Express, and fancy upscale celebrity chef restaurants like Emeril's. This is a great place for entertainment in the afternoon and
evening hours. There are also 10 clubs and bars here and an upscale movie
theater. Try some of the clubs like the rising star, karaoke anyone? Or Live
concert at the Hard Rock Live. We've included a link of hard rock live
schedule of events on hipfig.com under Orlando. You can even dance the night
away at the groove or go watch the Blue Man Group. It's a good place to hang out
and get some food until late in the evening. Tip 3: be prepared-
it rains often in Orlando especially June to September so pack a reusable
rain poncho. Tip: the most of the popular restaurants are very busy so make sure
that you make advance reservations for dinner if you're staying at Universal
Studios Hotels. You get to enjoy a complimentary Club to club access to
select Universal CityWalk venues for the length of your stay if you're staying in
one of the premier preferred resort then you also get priority seating at ellipse
restaurants throughout the resort
Universal also offers water taxi service between sapphire Falls and royal Pacific
hotels to the two theme parks. It usually takes about 25 minutes one way. Boats
depart every 15 minutes and it usually begins one hour before early park entry
begins until after City Walk shuts down at 2:00 a.m. Go to Universal resorts
Orlando website for more details or ask at your hotel. I highly recommend city
Walk as a place to hang out and eat especially since they have a large
selection at different price ranges and you don't need to drive out to get there
since it's located between the two theme parks and the parking lot
City Walk is a lively place with plenty to do in places to eat
Citywalk comes alive at 9:00 PM and is a really safe place to walk anytime even
late at night
